Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

[damon16]

Wondering if anyone has gotten this move to work yet? I like to know how to use all the moves even if I don't use them in game. I thought I got it to work a few times but wasn't sure. Definitely not on a consistent basis that's for sure. Maybe the control directions are misprinted.

"While engaged in the post, holding the ball with a live
dribble, perform a Pump Fake; once the Pump Fake
starts, press Y"

can't do the stepthrough shot after pump fake either

Ok guys this move...a lot of users had trouble with last year. The best thing I would say to do is by using the X/Sqaure button to learn the timing of the move. Just hit the post practice gym. Get in the post (DO NOT use your dribble). Hold L2 And then press X/sqaure button and then quickly press Y/triangle. Do it very quickly. But also remember you can use your dribble to do this move.

Once you get the hang of the timing. Try using the shot stick instead of the button. With the shot stick you can choose which side you want to fake to.

You can or cannot use your dribble first? I am doing it exactly as it says which is by holding a live dribble. So I am posted up with a live dribble. I hit LT and shot stick left or right and then Y right after and I get nothing. I have tried it really slow and really fast. So if I can't use my dribble first then that is my problem. If that is the case though the directions are wrong.

Ummm...how is this hard? It's so simple. When your in the post with a live dribble you press LT+X to pump fake then simply press Y. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong move.

I think they might be getting hung up on the term "live dribble" it sounds by that term like you're supposed to be actively dribbling. What it means is quite the opposite, catch your entry post and DON'T dribble, as you need a "live" (unused) dribble to execute the second part of the move (he dribbles once, then spins)

So after you catch the ball, do not dribble, if your guy has already started dribbling for whatever reason, you will NOT be able to do this move at all. Now, after he catches the ball and has not dribbled, execute the pump fake while holding L2, then hit triangle/Y for the spin part of the move. The move itself is very effective with bigger guys like Shaq and Dwight Howard, as opposed to finesse big men like Pau or Aldridge. I'm guessing that's the part you got a little confused by. I hope that works for you.

DO NOT DRIBBLE. You have to be engaged in the post, with the triple threat still an option. Tap Square/X, and then quickly tap Triangle/Y, and it should be performed, but the key is you must have not dribbled.
